Forged by War

Ruger v2

Designed by Lucas Burnley in Orleans, Massachusetts

This knife arrives with stepped up D2 blade steel, a handle in black stonewash finish, a frame lock for safety, and friction grooves on the drop-point blade for a secure grip. Be careful where you point it.

Designed by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical in Chattanooga, Tennessee

The day Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical introduced us to his original design for the Woods Chogan™ T-Hawk in 2014 was a memorable one at our headquarters. Now, we’re releasing a CRKT.com exclusive replete with a black magnesium phosphate coating on the head for corrosion resistance and an aesthetically cool firewood-burned handle. The result: same badass tool. Entirely new look.

Designed by Flavio Ikoma in Presidente Prudente, Brazil

Batten down the hatches. We’re convinced that the word “dainty” isn’t in Designer Flavio Ikoma’s vocabulary. We take his new Deadbolt™ innovation as definitive proof. With it, the Seismic™ everyday carry folder has proven to be outrageously strong without compromising on simplicity or usability—it’s got other folders quaking in their boots.

Serve. Protect. The Provoke™ knife draws on ancient karambit design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic™ technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot.

Designed by Ken Onion in Kaneohe, Hawaii

Keys, wallet, Slacker™. For a designer like Ken Onion, there’s no shortage of genius ideas, sketches, and one-offs that litter his shop. The Slacker™ folding knife is his personal thought experiment realized: can an attractive, low-profile knife be built around Field Strip? The answer is resounding.

An everyday carry with a twist. This sleek, tactically-inspired folding knife is a Ken Onion thought experiment realized: what would it look like to put a rectangular knife handle in a vise grip and twist? In classic Onion form, the result is a surprisingly ergonomic and supremely useful everyday carry.

Designed by Jesper Voxnaes in Loegstrup, Denmark

Where minimal design meets maximum utility. The Pilar® is a minimalist’s everyday carry folder with clean design and an epic tale behind its name. It’s understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.

Designed by Richard Rogers in Magdalena, New Mexico

A knife that’s dressed for success. At first glance, it could be mistaken for a pen tucked into a shirt pocket. And that’s exactly the way the CEO folding knife was designed. With a supremely low profile and no corners cut on usability and ergonomics, it embodies the working spirit of everyday carry.
